Abstract: risk of other cancers than breast, ovary, and prostate do not appear to be sufficiently increased to warrant special follow-up programmes in any of these three groups of families.Families without BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations also show an increased risk of breast cancer, and in future, other susceptibility genes are likely to appear; breast cancer surveillance is necessary also in those families.More studies are urgently needed to clarify the risk of cancer, patient survival, efficacy of surveillance, and management of patients and healthy relatives.
